You are worth hacking! You may not be worth targeting for your bank account or email, but your router, phones, and other electronics make good targets for people performing mass hacking operations to combine the computing power of thousands of devices so that they can break websites with fake requests (DDOS) or mine cryptocurrency on your dime.
